Arn Anderson spoke about Regal vs. Goldberg.
During an episode of the Ask Arn podcast, the host himself, Arn Anderson would open up about the match that happened in World Championship Wrestling between William Regal and Bill Goldberg. A match that Regal was not happy with and for years had a comment about how things went backstage before he went out and had to wrestle the future World Heavyweight Champion.
“I delivered instructions that I was given. For Regal to have taken all the grief that he has taken over the years about that match … this is my personal opinion: It’s the best match Goldberg’s ever had because it was one of the first contests that he ever had, where it was a 50-50 fight. When you’ve got 8 minutes or 9 minutes, whatever it was, you can’t just go out and slaughter a guy like William Regal for 9 minutes. You have to have a competitive match.”
Double A believes this was the first and only time Goldberg had to “work” and Regal was not happy about the producer who was Anderson at the time throwing him under the bus when all Anderson wanted was to make both guys work a good match which Eric Bischoff agreed with.
